Take off and leave your rights behind

Article Abstract:

The Warsaw Convention, signed in 1929, and the 1955 Hague Protocol offer very little protection for air passengers. Airlines have the right to alter schedules without notice, and are not obliged to help passengers who become stranded if flights are cancelled or delayed. There is relatively little compensation available to victims of aircraft accidents. The Montreal Convention 1999 seeks to address this issue, but has so far only been ratified by Belize.

Mean street

Article Abstract:

Havana, Cuba, is an extremely colourful city where the visitor gains a strong impression of the activities of everyday life. There are many different smells and noises, and the city's inhabitants take a close interest in foreigners. There has been a strong shift towards free enterprise, and there are now many cafes and street stalls, battling to do business against problems such as frequent power cuts and insufficient supplies.

Scotland's near-perfect union of landscape and artifice

Article Abstract:

The city of Edinburgh, Scotland, has recently seen its Old and New Towns recognised as a World Heritage Site by Unesco. It offers a skyline made up of natural peaks and dramatic architecture, and is most famous for Prince's Street, an extremely impressive civic landscape. Edinburgh Castle attracts many tourists, as does Holyrood Palace, a rather unattractive building which is the Queen's third official residence.
